Today ran like I wish everyday would.
Dekker got up for breakfast at 10am. He ate Cheerios and bananas and drank milk while I did the dishes. A friend was coming over for lunch and asked if she could bring me a slurpee. Um…YES! My first slurpee of the year. It was super delicious, paired with egg salad sandwiches for lunch. It was so nice to have a good friend over in the day for some solid girl talk and catching up. She and I used to be relatively inseparable, but as happens in lots of friendships, after graduation, life took us in different directions. Only now, about six years later, has it brought us back together. I can truly say, it doesn’t feel like we’ve been apart for too long. We picked right back up nicely 🙂 If she’s reading this, I love you!!! She stayed for a few hours, but then had somewhere to be.
Dekker went down for a nap pretty much as soon as she left. I watched Dr Phil. Not too long later, Brady texted and said he was on his way home. He went to work nice and early so he could be home at a decent time. It is SUCH a nice system for us! He was home today by 5pm, which almost never happens. Dekker was freshly awake and I had fed him. Brady brought subs and we ate while Dekker played and then napped. My poor boy is pretty tired these days.
When he got up, we watched the Bachelor together and played toys. Now, Dekker is in bed for the night, its only 9pm, and I feel like Brady has been home all afternoon! He hasn’t been at all, but the extra hour or two we get this way makes such a huge difference!
What a beautiful day today was. Sickness has almost given up on our family even! Now if only we could kick Dekker’s diaper rash, we’d all be happy!
